How can we navigate airliners or allow military vehicles to stay on course without GPS or satellite signals? This is a problem for which quantum inertial sensors offer a solution.

Controlling and studying the chemistry of batteries is crucial to improving their design. Scientists have developed an optical fibre based method for monitoring the evolving chemistry of a commercial battery in real time during charging and discharging.

A team of European researchers has established a new principle that explains how flying insects determine the direction of gravity, without using accelerometers.

Data can be encoded as DNA but are difficult to process thereafter. A new method enables operations to be performed on DNA-encoded data directly, without having to first translate them into their electronic equivalent.

The CNRS Scientific Mediation Medal recognizes the women and men who put science at the heart of society, diffusing scientific information that is accessible to different audiences.

The CNRS and the University of Tokyo joined forces on 4 October as part of an International Research Centre (IRC), the third such structure for the CNRS abroad.

Trees play an essential role in the well-being of city dwellers - but for how long? An international research team, including a CNRS researcher from the Ecology and Dynamic of Anthropogenic Systems laboratory at the University of Picardy Jules Ver

For the first time, a digital model has shown that both fishing and climate-induced environmental change are responsible for the collapse of cod stocks in the North Sea.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are one of the solutions being put forward to help adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.

They prove that Hipparchus' data were significantly more accurate than those of another catalogue composed centuries later.

Why are cancers of the adrenal glands 1  more common among women? Why are prognoses worse for them? A team of scientists led by a CNRS researcher answers these questions in an article published on 14 October 2022 in Science Advances .

The treatment of cancer is often based on intravenous chemotherapy, which is highly demanding and requires hospitalisation.

NOEMA, Europe's new major radio astronomy facility, is to be inaugurated on 30 September 2022. Capable of carrying out unprecedented observations, it is already a member of the international EHT collaboration, which produced the very first images of black holes.

The James Webb Telescope offers exceptional new images of the Orion Nebula. Many stars are born in this nebula, it could reveal information about the beginnings of our Solar System.
